Arg, it looks like the pipes.quote fix in <a href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/2126">#2126</a> should have been applied to SSH as well. The workaround for this one is to manually specify `c.SSHEngineSetLauncher.engine_cmd = [&#39;ipengine&#39;]`, which won&#39;t need to be quoted.<div>

<br></div><div>This should be fixed by <a href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/2270">PR #2270</a></div><div><br></div><div>There&#39;s also clearly another bug in ipengine, where disambiguation of ip=* with location={not local}, where it&#39;s coming up with localhost instead of location. The workaround for this is to explicitly use an engine-visible IP on the controller (ip=1.2.3.4). This part does not affect 0.13, and should be fixed by <a href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/2269">PR #2269</a>.</div>

<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So, to sum up (hopefully), for 0.13 the necessary workarounds for 0.13:</div><div><br></div><div>SSHEngineSetLauncher.engine_cmd = [&#39;ipengine&#39;]</div><div>SSHLauncher.remote_profile_dir = &#39;.ipython/profile_ssh&#39; # as appropriate for your own profile</div>
